The Bay of Fundy


This morning we drove up the way to the Bay of Fundy and did some hiking and rock hounding.



We headed up this trail in the woods and did a 3 mile round trip hike. The woods were quiet and the day was foggy and damp but we had a good hike anyway.









Sharleen  did great with her poles although it was a little muddy in some areas.








The tide was out when we were there and you can see that the ocean is a long ways from shore. The Bay of Fundy is unique in that the tide is huge here. Twice a day the water will drop as much as 50 feet leaving docks and boats high and dry until the next high tide.








We found this area that is normally filled with water but as you can see there is none now. The boat will be floating in about 6 hours.  All in all a nice day on the bay. One more day here and then we make our way back to the states.
